A revolutionary year?
This year’s trade show schedule show be a belter, with a number of brands claiming to have introduced exciting new products onto the marketplace.
When east meets west
After some deliberation and feedback from many of you within the industry, we have decided on a location for our CanTech – The Grand Tour trade show for 2019.
The joy of Spring
I hope many of you enjoyed the Easter break and we now move our attention towards our May issue.
Reviewing DRS
The issue of DRS has been hugely prominent here in the UK this past week. And for those cricket aficionados amongst you, no we are not referring to an umpire’s Decision Reviews System!
Creating a Monster
As is the norm, Euro CanTech began with an afternoon tabletop session and the networking dinner on Monday night.
See you in Milan
We are looking forward to welcoming you all to next week’s Euro CanTech.
Going global
For those of you who are not aware, our sales manager Mark Neilson is currently unwell and off sick. I’d like to wish Mark a speedy recovery and we hope to see him back very soon.
The beast from the east
This blog comes to you from a very snowy UK. Predictably when a period of bad weather hits these shores, it creates a terrific amount of panic and the country grinds to a standstill for a couple of days.
The final build-up
Our March issue has just gone to press, which is our designated Euro CanTech issue.
Fake news
It seems last week’s blog instigated a bit of a political storm, after we enquired as to the status of the IMDA golf day, due to a lack of information on the IMDA website.
Hoping for better news
There was some sad news recently, after Coca-Cola announced the plan to close UK plants in Milton Keynes and Northampton, putting 300 jobs in jeopardy.
A bright outlook
This blog comes to you from a very wet and miserable looking Paris. The city could easily be mistaken for Manchester on a drizzly UK day – not the salubrious surroundings that you often become accustomed to here.
Your first port of call
In this week’s Euro CanTech news, we are delighted to confirm Ardagh’s involvement with the show in the form of a keynote speaker slot.
The consolidation continues
The acquisition trail continues within the metal packaging industry, as the news this week has been the fact that Belvac Production Machinery has announced the acquisition of Rosario Can Technology.
